While I know nothing will change anyones mind, this is the only CONCRETE evidence I have seen to date. Also, before anyone whines about talented drivers, there were three Nationals Trophy winners in the class, including the third place finisher at Nationals in 2003. AND, it was the (unsorted) first National competition for the RX-8, against a group of the most sorted and prepared S2000's in the country. I submit the following from the recent SCCA Solo II National Tour:

is this pro drivers?
NO!
so it is not even fare to compare them maybe you can compare drivers skill but not a car!
in general if you look at the lap time in best motoring s2k is faster than rx-8 even g35, rsx type-s, wrx were faster.
plz give me better evidence if you have one.
give me a evidence that provide drivers are fare even skilled like best motoring!

My post was based on (and backed up by) facts. Your response was "Not good enough".
When you back up your claims with facts, I will continue. Otherwise, I get enough of the "Uh-Uh" crap from MY kids.........
Enjoy!

well... I sold my 03 S2000 5 days ago, and I just bought an 04 RX8 yesterday, and I can honestly say that the RX8 is about 95% of the performance of the S2000. I havent really pushed mine that hard yet (waiting for the break in period) but pushing it through the twisties, I can already tell this car is going to be incredible. I would say that very few people could extract that extra 5% out on a public road. Bottom line is the 2 cars are apples and oranges, 4 seater comfortbale sports car vs 2 seater hard edged convertible.

jdmlover seems like you wont be satisfied no matter what we show you until we all bow down to your logic.
btw, watching bestmotoring videos, subscribing to caranddriver, and watching fast and furious doesn't make you an expert - it makes you a jackass. and i for one will not take seriously someone who's best 1/4 with an rsx-s was a pathetic 15.0 with i/h/e (bwhahahahaha, my sister runs 14s in her rsx-s with the same mods, and get this: my sister paid for the car/parts herself and does her own labor; i'm guessing your mom bought you your g35 and you probably can't pull off an oil change, what with your spare time being spent watching bm and reading option mags.)
you're a troll. go back to watching your precious videos and try not to venture out into public until you've got something productive to contribute to society. or atleast learn some manners, Ike doesn't like our car much either but at least he says it in palatable ways.

I like your cars quite a bit, it's just not quite for me. With what I say in the posy I'm just being realistic in my views. I think it's pretty well established that the S2K is faster than the RX-8, and handles just a touch better. That's in no way meant to be an insult, yet some people with RX-8s will take it that way. Just because I think it's slower than other cars does not mean I don't like it. There are things the RX-8 does better than the S2K as well. It just depends on what you're looking for in a car in order to determine which is best for you.

I think the 8 makes a better street car due to a softer suspension and of course the back seat. The one thing that actually was useful from that Best Motoring video was when they compared the 8 and S2k in the slalom. The 8 rolls and leans and the S2k stays almost totally flat. I would hate to hit potholes/crappy pavement in that car.
